Since all that was involved were ghosts trying to torment people, I didn't think it all that terrifying. In that regard, it is figuratively not new. I can see why the author didn't want to bother giving the demon ghosts backstories, but they might have at least added a hint of intrigue to each character's backstory.

This comic is practice at building tension. Plot and characters are exchanged for singular unsettling panels.
The Red Book is essentially an anthology series with some of the ghosts recurring from chapter to chapter. Every chapter is a single scene up to twenty panels long portraying the moment the human and ghost meet. For example, a girl texting on her walk home starts being chased by a ghost in the shadows.
